Join us at 12 pm on 12 June for a webinar on ‘Gender Equality: Opportunities and Challenges for the OR Community’. Paula Carroll, Annunziata Esposito Amideo and Martin Kunc will be discussing the first WISDOM peer reviewed discussion paper that has been published in JORS. Sign up for the webinar here: https://lnkd.in/eb-Kngzx Read the paper here: https://lnkd.in/e6xub2PZ Read the Commentary here: https://lnkd.in/eduujMN9 The paper identifies a gap in understanding gender equality issues in the discipline of OR and the role of gender in participation and career progression in the field. To address this gap, a gender lens was applied to OR literature, examining its history, community, theory, methods and practice to uncover hidden gender dimensions and bring gender issues into focus. The analysis revealed that women are largely invisible from recorded OR history. Through a survey of the current OR community, insights into career paths by gender were gained. Using a decision tree approach, it was found that women perceive barriers to participation and career progression, which are less apparent to their male peers. Join us for this joint JORS, WORAN and WISDOM event! #HistoryofOR #ThisisOR #GenderEquality #EDI #Survey #DecisionTree #JORS #ORMS #WORAN #WISDOM
